Hitting London with a ballistic missile would bring the rents down. Maybe this is a good thing.
Well it would likely put them up, seeing as it would remove supply but, if you know Londoners you’ll know it won’t do a damn thing about demand.
At least they have good public transportation. But yeah, anyone making less than £100,000 a year, good luck finding anywhere with a train commute of under an hour.
We moved into a home county. I grew up in London, but it’s just too expensive. We could have gotten a place there, but it would not be a good one, not be in a good area and likely be beyond our personal budget (the banks would give us the money, we wouldn’t accept it).
Not regretting it at all really.
Please do it Putin. WE want the excuse, NATO wants the excuse, Poland’s chomping at the bit for the excuse and we really want to see how long it takes them to rush Moscow.
Pushes glasses in It’s actually “champing.”
Didn’t know this, thanks!
How do horses “champ” at their bit?
Exuberantly, with a shade of impetuousness
Champ is the older spelling of chomp. They mean the same thing. At some point a shift in pronunciation occurred and spelling has reflected that, but the older version has been preserved in the phrase “champ at the bit”
Language evolves.
Skibidi chomp
Chomping at the skibidi?
fr fr no chomp
Boys on the internet want it, but they won’t join in

Lukashenko: why are there troops with wings sprayed on their vehicles massing near my border?
Poland: Just a regular training, nothing to worry about
I know this is a joke, but some people might actually have this mindset and that is very very dangerous.
Reminder that World War 2 had a gradual unfolding of declarations of war across several months or longer, depending on how you want to fuck that pig. I think we’re already in the onset of WWIII, in some sense.
That’s terrifying because WW3 risks the use of nuclear weapons and every model of nuclear exchange that has been run always escalates to mutual assured destruction with billions dead and the end of civilization.
I just finished listening to the audiobook of Nuclear War: A scenario by Annie Jacobsen. Highly recommend it.
The real slippery slopes are graded much less steeply than you’d expect
Are we in the Spanish Civil War type pre-phase of WWII?
The thing is, if NATO is worth anything at all. Hitting a NATO country would bring a lot of declarations in a very short order. It would get very WW3, very quickly.
Same way you go bankrupt; slowly, and then all at once.
That’s assuming Europe wasn’t economically stretched already, and America didn’t have an incoming president who wasn’t more interested in fellating Putin.
Even if there’s financial concerns in Europe. We DO have reasonably strong airforces, modern weaponry and several nuclear enabled countries. I think it would be a big risk to take in their current position.
My main concern is Trump tries to coerce Europe to leave Ukraine to fight alone. It all depends on how much in Putin’s pocket he is.
This is “threatens the uk” :
“We consider ourselves entitled to use our weapons against military facilities of those countries that allow their weapons to be used against our facilities.”
Removed by mod
It would make sense to take out the UK first. In recent history, the rest of Europe just roll on their back and surrender or get taken by force.
Take out your only realistic competition first. Genius move I’d say.
